A fire broke at a hospital here on Thursday and gutted part of it. Three fire tenders were rushed to the spot and the fire was controlled within two hours, a fire department official said.
The incident happened at 3.30 p.m. in Ganesh Hospital here. Chief Fire Officer Sunil Kumar Singh said the cause seemed to be an electrical short-circuit in the hospital's medical store.
"A pharmacist, who noticed it, informed us," the official said.
The hospital management engaged seven ambulances through which they transferred the patents to nearby Yashoda and Sarvodaya hospitals.
The loss is estimated to be about a few lakhs of rupees. It will be calculated after normalcy is restored, said Balbir Singh, the hospital's Public Relations Officer.
